Neighborhood Reviews & Questions

Neighborhood Review
Key Words: Hospital District, Central Grid, Atlantic Access

Memorial Heights is a central Long Beach neighborhood that takes its name and much of its identity from Long Beach Memorial Medical Center, the large hospital campus on Atlantic Avenue at its edge. It is a flat, walkable grid of older bungalows, apartments, and small homes north of downtown, and the hospital and its associated medical offices make this a hub for healthcare workers and patients. The location is central and well connected, with the markets and services of Atlantic Avenue, the historic neighborhoods of Bixby Knolls and California Heights to the north, and downtown a short drive south. The housing is older and the area is dense, with the upkeep variability common to the central city, and the hospital's traffic and activity are part of daily life here. For buyers who want an affordable, central position near major medical facilities and easy access across the city, Memorial Heights is defined by its anchor institution.
